TUE SUN. SOLEJI QIIIS DICERE FALSUM 4U1)E.1T.2 LON 1) ON . THURSD.II - EVENING, JANUARY 5, 1826. The negociations for the conclusion of a Com suercial Treaty between France and England are still going forward, and we believe, we may add, to this information which we gave in our Paper of Saturday last, that the terms have been arranged, and every difficulty adjusted that was at all likely to prevent the accomplish ment of this wisp and important measure. We hope soon to hear of tire definitive ratification of this Treaty, for a more accceptable document could hot be laid upon the table of the House of Com alhns in the approaching Session, and we believe It will b e no less agreeable to our Continental neighbours than to ourselves. England and France thus united, the Peace of Europe may then be said to be consolidated, and Placed on a basis which ensures its preservation. litia will give time for the recovery of our "ergiet, and the reduction of that immense debt, which" hangs like a dead weight and 411 oppressive incumbrance in the rising pros- PPrity of the nation, and cannot but be r egarded as more than an equal set off t ° any advantages the greatest commercial 'xertions can bring us. In whatever way tins subject is beheld, the fact that the nation ()% yea 810,000,0001. cannot be lost sight of ; its *ir Pcta are visible in every quarter of the coun trys and we b e li eve the late panic in the Ci ty is m ore i mme di a tely connected with it ii 144 is at present supposed. We trust the same 4 it a city which has f or s o me years past marked the , Council s o f th e N a ti on , will soon be directed Lto t his point ; a nd sure we art a remedy will t be found to pnllinte, in the first instance, ill" a fterwards remove an evil, whose magnitude l I° i mmeasurable that we laugh in our misery st the a pparent utter hopelessness of even a par- Cure. I t is not to be suppose d, how eve_ i) that England alone is to be benefitted y the continuance of Peace. France knows and Peels that her interests are at stake, and require repose as much as those of the Uuited Kingdom. Ilamburgh Papers received this day contain further details of the death of the En►peror ALEXAND En., and of the illness which occasioned it. It is now quite clear, that the Emperor wtts permitted to die in a natural way, and that the illness which carried him off was a bilious fever. An attempt is made in these Papers to account for the alleged appearance of the name of the Grand Duke NICHOLAS in the Royal Prussian Ca lendar as heir presumptive to the Russian Throne, by saying that the statement appeared in the Ordinary Calendar, printed at Frankfort on the Oder, and not in the Royal Prussian Calendar, as had been supposed. An inquiry is going for- ward as to the origin of this error, anti by the report we shall be able to judge of the value of those inferences which this circumstance has► oc casioned.—We have made the following extracts from these papers:— ST. PETERSIIIIRGII, DEC. 17. Her Majesty the Empress mother has been agreeably sur. prised by the return of his Imperial Highness the (hand Duke Michael from Warsaw, who hastened to her immediately on receiving the news of the death of the Emperor Alexander. His Majesty the Emperor Constantine was at Warsaw, in good health. As soon as the oath to the Emperor Constantine had bee ► taken in the Church, first by the Grand Duke Nicholas, then by the Council of the Empire, the Synod, the Ministers, the principal Officers ofState, the Generals and Colonels of the He giments of the Guards went to receive the oath from their men. The colours having been brought out, each regiment was drawn up in a square, and took the solemn oath as faithful subjects to his Majesty. The St. Peter:burgh Gazelle corrects an error of the Press. The late Emperor died not of the yellow (vibe's), but of the bilious (gal/en) fever. HAscaunait, DEC. 30. Letters from St. Petersburgh of the 17th say, that the Em peror Constantine was expected there that day, but letters from Warsaw of the 19th say not a word of the Emperor's departure from that city. According to other letters, his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Nicholas would go to Warsaw to have a conference with the Emperor Constantine. Mr. Clews, a British Cabinet Messenger, passed through Berlin on the 28th, on his way from London to St. Petersburgh. BERLIN, DEC. 97, The literary paper called the Conversation:4l" No. 288, of Dec. 13, (published by Brockhaus, at Leipsig) informs the public, that in the Royal Prussian Calendar, the Grand Duko Nicholas is stated to be successor to the throne of the Russian Empire. From inquiry, instituted in conse quence of this statement, it has been discovered that the source from which that erroneous notion was derived, and which according to the Conversationr•blatt, leaves no doubt of its authenticity, is not, as was falsely stated, a Royal Prus sian Calendar, but the ordinary Calendar, printed and publish ed by Trnwitsch and son, at Frankfort on the Oder. What has caused this mistake, and to whom the blame is to be at tributed, is the subject of a strict investigation.—( Mutt Gazette.) The Archbishop of Posen and Genssen died on the 20th ult. at Posen, aged 04 years. STOCKHOLM, D=C. 20. The Gazette of the 17th, gives notice of six weeks Court mourning for the Emperro Alexander, the melancholy news of whose death was brought here on the 16th, by a Courier from St. Petersburgh. Count Lowenhjelus, and Lieutenant. General Baron Biornstierna, will be sent from our Court to congratulate the Emperor Constantine on hi► accession to the Throne. Our new Tariff will be published at the beginning of the year. DAIIIIIIROII, DEC. 29. We can give from an official source the happy news for the friends of humanity, that, besides the Commercial Treaty be tween Greet Britain and Brazil, a separate treaty between the two Powers has been received in London, by which Brazil engages entirely to abolish the foreign slave trade in four years, dating from the ratification of the treaty.—(From the Borten Hall List.) r.XCHANOE4 ON LONDON. lI A MBUIIOII, DEc. 3 0.-34. 9.; 2 Us., 34. 6.

Today his Majesty and the Princesses, with a splendid retinue, attended the solemn festival of the Order of Noise Stnliora do Conceicao, in the Royal Chapel of the Palace of Bemposta. The Clerks of the Bank of England were yesterday engaged till seven o'clock, receiving cash for bills that were not paid on presentation in the morning. The number of bills noted by the private Bankers was great beyond precedent. The letters this morning give a gloomy picture of many parts of the Country. Artisans and labourers in general, have been thrown out of work in great numbers. In Gloucestershire 1,800 have been discharged by one Firm, and 600 by another.

Tut: Ex-KrNn or Swrom—Extract of a pri vate letter, of the 25th inst.. from Mayence : " public attention is at this moment power fully excited by the disappearance of Colonel GUSTAVUS, (Ex-King of Sweden), whom it was customary to see almost daily within our walls. His hotel is situated at Cassel, a parish compre hended within the fortifications of Mayence. His attendants assert that he went to his son, who resides at Carlsruhe with his mother, and that from thence they both departed for Russia. Well informed persons say that Gustavus was very in timate with Prince Constantine, and kept up a regular correspondence with him." A bank has been authorised by the Gov e rn. ment of Chili, to be called the National Bank, with power to issue bills for3o years, without pre venting citizens from establishing private banks. It is to have a capital of 10 millions of dollars, in shares of 500, and at least one-third shall be kept in England. Branch banks are to be esta blished in others parts of the country.

ALYARADA, OCT. 21.—An embargo was laid on the 11th inst. on all vessels in port, but it is expected will be taken off in a few days. LIMA, AUG. 25.—Gen. Rodil still holds out the Castles of Callao for the King of Spain. An additional duty of 5 per cent. has been levied upon goods introduced by foreigners, but we do not think it will be of any duration. A letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, dated Alvarado, Oct. 21, states, that an Embargo was laid on all the shipping in that port on the 11th of October. It was supposed to be connected with the attack on St. Juan do lilloa, and was only expected to continue for a few days. We are informed that Lord CoanuANr has not, in a single iota, violated the pledge made by him to the Oreek Deputies • and that he still holds himself prepared t o fulfil all the con ditions of his agreement, provided those of the Deputies are also executed.—( Dublin Morning Post.) l'he outrage that recently took place at the _ Liverpool and Manchester Theatres in favour of 11 , 1 r. and M rs. Mq.; I naom, to restore them to both of those theatres, is a strong proof of the popularity of those performers, particularly of Mrs. M'Gta• pox, whose literary as well as theatrical talents are well known, and whose private character is hi g hly respectable. She may, indeed, be suid to possess hereditary powers, as she is the daughter of the late Mr. WILLIAM WOODFALL— a gentleman whose name should never be men tioned without respect. It is proper also to ob. serve, that the Liverpool and Manchester Mann. gers deserve credit for their liberality in relin yuiahing all hostile feelings,trust, and assenting t o th e public.wishes of the We therefore, that Mrs. M‘GIIIIION will not only be restored to the respective stages, but to the sincere good-will of the proprietors. Wcun, who, since the retirement of Jonw• rroNa (a Kilkenny man, like himself), has not an equal in the performance of Irish characters, is about to visit Scotland, professionally, for the first time. NEW YOUK, DEC. 3.—Mr. KEAN concluded late engagement here by his benefit last night king Lear, before a full and respectable house ; and the performance, like the previous one in the seine character, was true to the author and to nature. On the fall of the curtain Mr. KEAN was called for, and after some minutes of rest from► the fatigues or the evening, he appeared and made a handsome address to the audience, expressive of grateful feelings for the kindness with which hey had been received. A letter from Bath states, that an attempt was made a few days since to assassinate the exem plary Bishop of the ►liocese in the Cathedral at Wells, and that the assassin was apprehended on the spot, with two loaded pistols in his pos session. _ BANK NOTES.—As some of our Readers might perhaps be disposed to purchase, at a di s . count, the Notes of such Banks as have lately failed, we think it right to state, for the uprsons infarmation of those who may not be acquainted with the law on the subject, that who purchase notes after a Commission of Bankruptcy has issued against the Bank by which they were issued, cannot prove on the estate, in respect of such notes ; and even if rho notes are purchased before the bankruptcy, the purchasers can only prove for the amount really paid, and bone fide paid for there.—(Manches ter Mercury.)
